Legendary Experimental & Documentary Filmmaker Abigail Child Receives Career Retrospective at NYC’s Anthology Film Archives March 24-28th
At times playful and at others intensely provocative, the cinema of Abigail Child has been a cornerstone of the American avant-garde film movement since the late 1970s. Poet, visual artist and filmmaker Abigail Child has absorbed the best of mentors like Jonas Mekas, experimental icons like Marie Menken, Len Lye & Arthur Lipsett, and has been a trailblazer for LGBTQIA+ artists alongside fellow game-changers like Barbara Hammer and Yvonne Rainer.
The work is emotionally probing, intellectually challenging, and visually arresting. Every image is a masterful flourish filled with power, and each sounds an alarm, a call to arms for each of us to march forward in our own personal journey.
A destroyer of boundaries and builder of bridges, the work traverses the finest experimental cinema and the very best of the documentary form.
These fantastic works have been lovingly curated in a long overdue career retrospective for Abigail Child, presented at New York’s Anthology Film Archives from March 24th to the 28th, 2023.
